Bluetooth Dongles - Not Again!

Well, I just tried connecting a Wii controller to use in Cortex Command and lo and behold, no bluetooth adapter is in my computer! Turns out the Best Buy employee who sold it to me wasn’t quite accurate about the details. They’ve offered 50% off on a bluetooth adapter in their store, but I’m a little worried about the quality of their bluetooth adapters. I already bought a Kensington adapter that promptly caused bluescreens and crashes on my old Inspiron computer. I hope the Rocketfish one they’re selling won’t have similar problems.

Anyway, I am also looking at the purchase of a dual-analog gamepad. Not sure what model I’ll go with, any suggestions? In the main time I’ll use my Logitech WingMan joystick and Wii controllers.

Also, I’ll be putting up a review of Cortex Command within a few days. This gamepad is actually to see how it plays in multiplayer (no internet mode, unfortunately). It’s currently still a beta game/engine, at Build 14. Here’s the link, but be warned that it has a lot of blood, despite being a side-view pixel-graphics game.

    HP Pavilion dv9231ca

    Very good for it’s time and holds up reasonably well now.
